public static class ViewShadingWhat each view mode means to the editor's own tool renderer.
No guide page documents this yet — the page shows what the code says about itself.
Remarks
Two answers to "show me the normals" and this is the near one. ViewModes is the real one — a mode is a compositor tree, which is what doc 06 made the compositor data for — and it is fed now: EditorWorldRenderer holds a GraphicsCompositor and a view per pane, EditorFrames.RegisterViewModes hands each pane the subtrees for its own view, and EditorHost.Composes draws through FramePresenter for any mode that has one.
⚠ What it registers is shaded, and wireframe on a device that reports HasWireframe — no more. Albedo, unlit, normals and roughness have no tree, and nor does any pane past EditorWorldRenderer.MaxPanes or any pane but the first under an authored .vxcompositor. All of those keep the editor's own tool renderer, which is SceneMeshes through MeshInstanceRenderer: device-resident shapes, one instance per entity, one colour and one directional term, and no material anywhere. This table is what that path can honestly express, and it is a live fallback rather than a stage the editor has left behind.
⚠ The three it cannot express say so rather than falling back. Resolve falls back to shaded for a mode with no tree registered, which is right for a compositor that has not been authored and wrong for a menu item: a line that draws the same picture as the line above it is a control the user tries twice and then stops trusting. IsSupported is what lets the Scene menu register those three as declared-and-disabled with the reason, which is doc 20's first bar.
